Early morning commuters and joggers where accompanied this morning by a polar bear.
This 8ft long, fully animated ‘adult male polar bear’ was seen casually strolling through the capital to mark the launch of Sky Atlantic’s hotly anticipated arctic crime drama ‘Fortitude’.

In an effort to raise money for a magnet program for the arts, local and international street artists and muralists have used Jose de Diego Middle School in the Wynwood Arts District as their canvas. One of the most impressive in my view is from street artist Bik Ismo, he created this fantastic metallic dog mural. The dog took four days to complete and was created entirely with spray paint, successfully reflecting objects from the surrounding area.

StreetPong is an interactive game of pong installed at a street crossing that allows you to play opponents waiting on the other side. After two years of waiting, the game units have been designed and approved for use by the city of Hildesheim, Germany. Rebranded as the ActiWait, the devices aren’t just a clever way to pass the time while waiting for cars, hopefully they help stop impatient pedestrians from crossing on red.

The billboard shows the silhouettes of an adult man and a child that he’s threatening with a bottle in his hand. A nearby light makes a passersby part of the advert, making their silhouette stand in the middle of the man and boy giving them a symbolic nudge to step in and prevent or report real-life incidents of child abuse. With the message “Child abuse, you can prevent it.”
When a passer-by decides to step into the scene, a superhero-like logo appears on his or her shadow with an emergency number and the message: “Report to become a hero for children.”

Now an annual event which we all look out for as a mark to the start Christmas celebrations, the new John Lewis Christmas advert is out today! The new £1m advert is a sequel to last year's equally heart-rending "The Bear and the Hare". However this year it is all about a penguin called Monty who is sad because he wants a special friend. (I won't ruin the ending for you, you can watch it yourself below.)
But let's just say we can now all officially get excited about Christmas - John Lewis has said so!

Artist and photographer Michael Grab is a master of stone balancing. Just by using patience, adaptation, slow-breathing, steady hands and gravity as his glue, Grab has created some truly amazing structures.

Im sure we all spent some of our weekend either craving pumpkins or admiring other peoples attempts at this Halloween tradition. However I would bet money that they are no where near as impressive as Jon Neill's pumpkins.
Jon Neill is a professional pumpkin carver from southern California. Jon travels around America carving pumpkins of all sizes for corporate and private events.

By reproducing photographs as 3D sculptures or reliefs you are reopening these memories to the blind. Blind people can’t remember all of the details in photos, which can make visual memories fade over time.

Dalton Ghetti, a 49 year old carpenter, who carves highly detailed sculptures on the tips of pencils. All he uses is a razor blade, sewing needle and sculpting knife. Dalton doesn’t even use a magnifying glass.
While a standard figure will take several months to make, he has spent two and half years on a pencil with interlinking chains - now that is patience.

The installation by artist Alex Chinneck is a replica of the 184-year old Market Building behind it, but has been recreated to make it look as if it is floating.
The installation is called ‘Take my lightning but don’t steal my thunder’ and will be in Covent Garden’s East Piazza until the 24th October.

Why not go and take a look and see if you can work out how it is done. (we think we have)
